Edriss Titi is remembered in mathematics for work the next generation could build on.
The record lists Edriss Titi as Israeli mathematician.
Edriss Titi was born at Acre in 1957. His recorded nationality is Israel. He studied at Technion – Israel Institute of Technology and Indiana University Bloomington.
Twentieth-century mathematics became abstract and highly specialised, and its methods reached into physics, economics and computing.
His academic posts were held at University of California, Irvine and Texas A&M University.
The recorded fields of work are nonlinear partial differential equation and fluid dynamics.
Mathematics accumulates without discarding: a proof from two thousand years ago is still a proof.
The honours record reads: Humboldt Prize.
That the work was done from Israel matters: mathematical training, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Edriss Titi is still working, and the final assessment of the contribution has not been made.
